How to find an ebook cover art designer
Just like searching for a ghostwriter, you could ask and call around in your community's art organizations to find artists that you could pay to design an ebook cover for you.
Another way to do it is to conduct an Internet search. If you type in key words "ebook cover art" you'll get pages and pages of results. Ebook cover artists are literally standing by to get your project on the world wide web. Some individuals specialize in ebook cover art, and some companies provide a gamut of graphics or e-selling services.
The reality is, going to individual web sites and researching each one can take some time. So, I would invite you to try one of my low-B.S. approaches to finding an ebook cover art designer.
Here's what you do: Look at web sites where ebooks are being sold. Most well-marketed ebooks have cover art shown on a web page where the ebook(s) can be purchased. Decide for yourself which of the ebook covers most capture your attention and would therefore be good for your project.
Once you've found one or two really great ebook covers, contact the webmasters and ask who did the designs. You'd be surprised how many people will share their information with you. Introduce yourself pleasantly. You won't find out much by being gruff or unfriendly. Be honest and open,
and if you want to start off on the right foot, it may help you get in the door if you initiate the conversation by complimenting the webmaster's work. When you're using your best manners, if one webmaster won't divulge his cover art designer, then another webmaster definitely will.
